Product Details
The Freedom Feeder Day Net, our most popular net, can hold about 4 flakes, or up to 30 pounds of hay. It loads at the top, has a drawstring closure, and a large carabiner for hanging. The goal of Freedom Feeder is for every horse to have high fiber, low calorie forage available 24/7. Using Freedom Feeders is a way to “free” us from meal routines and help our horses live happier, healthier, and more natural lives - think of them as “Pastures In A Net”. Freedom Feeders may eliminate anxiety around meal time, reduce the likelihood of colic, and behavioral issues such as weaving, or pacing. The Day Net needs to be filled every day once the horse is satiated and trust is rebuilt that it will never again be without forage. It comes in 3 mesh options: 1”, 1.5”, or 2” mesh openings. 1″ Mesh openings are for insulin resistant or smaller grazing animals. We recommend that you start The transition with 1.5″ mesh, then slow them down further using 1″ mesh only if necessary. 1.5″ mesh openings are the most optimal opening to mimic grazing and slow consumption for most horses. 2″ mesh openings are intended for aggressive eaters and larger horses, and you might consider going down to 1.5” mesh size once the horse is transitioned.
